I stalk Zara’s new arrivals like most reload their for-you pages—multiple times a day, every day of the week. I do this because when an item drops that warrants my attention, if I don’t find it immediately after it becomes available, it’ll sell out. That’s life in the TikTok era for you. Naturally, then, when I discovered that the brand had dropped an under-$120 full skirt much like the ones that dominated the fall/winter 2023 runways in February, I wasn’t about to hesitate to snag one for myself—and share the news quickly thereafter. 

Full, voluminous skirts were most prominently spotted at Prada, where gorgeous white satin numbers were paired with neutral knits and suede outerwear and finished off with decorative kitten heels. But Prada was far from the only brand that got in on the trend. Bottega Veneta, Proenza Schouler, Emilia Wickstead, and more labels that showed across fashion month added fuel to the full-skirt fire, switching from leather to wool plaid to denim and back again. Zara’s take is a sand-colored, almost low-rise style with large pleats and belt holes for accessorizing. It also has a matching bomber jacket that simply must be considered as well. Keep scrolling to shop both pieces and explore the runway trend that’s blowing up in 2023. 

The only thing chicer than a full skirt is a full skirt that comes in a matching set. For proof, see this Bottega Veneta butter-yellow leather ensemble. 

Summer’s perfect match. 

I see this skirt everywhere, and every time, I’m jealous of the wearer.

The real question is: Should I buy the khaki color or the white or both?

I never thought to pair a hoodie with an elegant, full skirt but leave it to Proenza Schouler to convince me. 

This skirt is the moment. 

BRB, I’m literally running to COS in SoHo before it closes so I can buy this skirt.

This one comes in black too.

Time and time again, Emilia Wickstead designs the prettiest pieces for all occasions, from the office to a gala. This skirt look is no exception, from the gorgeous color to the mismatching print.

Another exceptional matching set. 

*Orders immediately upon finishing this story.*

I’m drooling over this color. 

The more volume, the better when it comes to skirts this season. When in doubt, go bigger. 

$40? I’ll take it. 

Consider me a full blown Banana Republic obsessee. 

Look up gorgeous in Wikipedia—this skirt will show up.
